WELCOME TO THE WEBSITE OF FUNCTIONAL GRAMMAR.

This website is no longer being maintained. Functional Grammar was succeeded in 2008 by Functional Discourse Grammar (FDG). More information can be found on the FDG website.

Functional Grammar (FG) is a general theory of the organization of natural language as developed by Simon C. Dik and others. In the theory functional notions play essential and fundamental roles at different levels of grammatical organization. The theory is based on data and descriptions of many languages, and therefore has a high degree of typological adequacy. FG offers a platform for both theoretical linguists interested in representation and formalism and descriptive linguists interested in data and analysis.
